Thread: WHY ARE WE TIRING OF OBAMA? Look at this list!!!!

WHY ARE WE TIRING OF OBAMA?

Today Rasumssen is reporting Obama at an all new record low with his approval index number tanking at minus 19. Gateway Pundit wrote that "Obama has dropped a stunning 49 points in less than one year."

One has to remember the now infamous quote of Rahm Emanuel, Chief of Staff and Mouthpiece to the Press, that "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

And that is exactly what has happened since this man took office.

Every single day there has been one atrocity after another, and America has not been able to catch its breath since January 20th.

But, on the bright side, because of their lightning speed, all of these atrocities have added up, and [in their usual fashion] they have overreached to the point where Americans are repelling.

Victor Davis Hanson gives us a laundry list of why in Pajamas Media, and the only item I would add to the NYC 'Date-Night" would be the dastardly New York City 'Fly-By'. Couple that with the terrorist trials, and one might think he's got something against NYC, and judging by his character, I can understand why.

Why Are We Tiring of Obama?

The China Presidency

I have an heirloom china pitcher on my mantle that has dozens of glued cracks—so much so that it is now purely ornamental and will not hold water. When I was a boy I’d ask my mother when, and under what circumstances, did the china crack apart.

She would provide stories about each fissure and mend, many of the break narratives handed down to her from her own grandparents in the house. There wasn’t one single accident, but instead dozens that rendered a once useful pitcher into an non-functional art object.

Something of the same is happening with our President. He is experiencing the sharpest popularity decline in the history of first-year administrations. The problem is not just that he inherited a bad economy; Reagan did too. Or that the war in Afghanistan heats up, since it is not nearly as bad as the mess Nixon inherited in Vietnam.

Instead, after 11 months there has emerged a series of bothersome incidents that the public has come to associate with Obama, both the man and his philosophies. Some are major policy issues; others trivial acts of no cosmic importance. None in themselves matter all that much. Each gaffe or mistake was contextualized and mended, or attended to by Robert Gibbs. Some are Obama’s fault; others the work of associates. Sometimes mere chance is the culprit.

I know Bush had his own list of catastrophes; other Presidents did as well. Again, my point is not trying to adjudicate relative culpability, but rather just to remind us all how and why Obama dived over 20 points in the polls in just 11 months—and his speeches transformed from inspirational to caricatures.

In short, taken together, after nearly a year, these fissures have nearly ruined the once pretty texture of the Obama administration, and almost rendered it incapable of effective governance.

Here is a random selection. I provide no chronology or theme. Nor do I judge the relative importance of any one incident. The point, again, is only that each was a fissure, some small, some major—all were glued over. The result is that now the public understands that its china presidency is fragile and held together by mere glue.

Here it goes:

Constant apologies abroad for everything from slavery to Hiroshima

Bows to Saudi royalty, the Japanese emperor, and Chinese autocrats

The on-again/off-again Guantanamo shut-down mess

The fight with the former CIA directors

The public show trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed

The reach out to Ahmadinejad, Castro, Chavez, and assorted thugs

The Honduras fiasco

Czars everywhere

The serial “Bush did itâ€

Shouldn't "No Lbbiests" = "No lobbiest left behind"?

Probably.

But then again, it also probably doesn't matter since the lobbyists will go the way of the rest of the US population as "the one"
tries to seal the deal on his dictatorship

Just like the rest of them......past and present....the great messiah already has his inner circle, those who will, to turn a phrase, "be in the bunker" with him, in place.

Everybody else is only there because he either needs them as a means to his ends or to lend a false sense of "normality" and business as usual as a distraction..

Once the big move is finally made, those lobbyists and everyone else kidding themselves as to their "special status" is toast just like the rest of us.

Yeah azwreath, I suppose you are right on that one. I wonder how long and if the American People will wake up from this nightmare that has been created. I sure am sick of it, but I have been for quite some time.

I just hope that the military and the local authorities will side with us, if and when they do wake up and react.

I never have been more worried for my kid's futures than I ever have before. At least we still have the soapbox, and to some extent the ballot box (as long as there is someone worth voting for). 'Cause I sure do loathe having to use the "last box" left to us if it comes down to it.

For my self I don't really care. I always figure something out, and "git along little doggie". But they shouldn't have to worry about that way of getting through life.
